i was lookin at HP Performances turbo kit. i ran across it a couple of days ago but i've never heard anything about it before. nor have i ever heard anyone talk about it. it looks solid and it'll do a little more on the pockets but if anyone knows about this turbo kit or has it, gimme some insight. or maybe i should just go for the rev hard or inlinepro kit. well here's HP Performances url... check it out and please help me out. thanks.

so i talked to the guy from hp performance today. he sent me a few pictures of the turbo header setup. looks different but pretty cool...

he says that it's a tuned length header and with the turbo being further away from the exhaust manifold it still has no affects on turbo spool or lag. i guess that makes sense since there are rear mounted turbo kits too...but let me know what you think... here's the pictures.

seems fine to me ( my opinion ) the only thing i would do is call them up and speak to em, if possible - go down and meet w/ them...see how they are and mayeb speak to some of their customers and go from there.
i'd also ask about maybe a head gasket ( lowering comp. ratio ) - kinda pricey - too bad that doesntg include install

 

They don't have a ton of info on the specifics of the turbo they offer, I would ask about that as well. To me it seems like a nice price considering it includes an AEM EMS with a "base tune", but I would definately ask what that "base tune" means as well.
